Chapter 67 Asking for Help
After solving Jiang Yingyue's accommodation problem, Tan Xuan's guilt was slightly relieved. He was so proactive not because he had a good impression of Jiang Yingyue, but because he blamed himself for Jiang Yingyue's fate. Jiang Yingyue had no job and no one to rely on in Jiangzhou, so he had to do what he could for Jiang Yingyue.
"Is there anything you need to buy? Pack up first, and I'll take you around the neighborhood so you can get familiar with the surroundings."
After Jiang Yingyue put her belongings in the bedroom, Tan Xuan stood outside the bedroom door and asked again. This bedroom now belongs to Jiang Yingyue, and it is not appropriate for him to enter a girl's bedroom casually. Tan Xuan found that Jiang Yingyue had too few things. It seemed that there was only a few clothes and cosmetics in the suitcase and an air-conditioned quilt. He didn't know how she lived in the company dormitory before.
"Okay, wait for me a moment."
Jiang Yingyue returned to the bedroom, closed the door, and came out after a while after changing her clothes.
Seeing Jiang Yingyue changed into casual and decent clothes, without deliberately dressing up to look mature, Tan Xuan smiled and praised: "Haha, you still look good like this. You dress too professionally at work, which covers up your youthful and beautiful vigor."
Jiang Yingyue smiled shyly, said nothing, and walked to the door with her head down.
"Did I speak too frivolously?" Tan Xuan muttered softly and followed him out the door.
The community where Tan Xuan lives is quite large, with mature supporting facilities nearby, including supermarkets, markets, and schools that can educate children from birth to high school graduation. There is plenty of everything, and there is also a wealth of choices.
Tan Xuan did not drive. It was convenient to drive on the road at this time, but parking was the most troublesome thing every time he arrived at a place. Maybe he had finished buying things over there and had not found a parking space here. Tan Xuan directly used this most primitive way of travel to take Jiang Yingyue to understand the nearby facilities in more detail.
For the first time, Tan Xuan experienced how good women are at shopping. Even if they were not shopping in shopping malls but in markets, women's love for shopping was fully revealed. From slippers to bedding, they bought everything, and the task of carrying things fell on Tan Xuan. Although he was the landlord, he couldn't let a beautiful woman carry large and small bags to shuttle through various shopping malls. Now Tan Xuan regretted that he didn't drive out. Accompanying a woman shopping is much more troublesome than fighting ghosts.
The two people who went out in the morning returned home in the evening. This was because they really couldn't take too much, as there were still many things they needed to buy.
"Hey, Tanzi, what are you doing?"
As luck would have it, Tan Xuan just entered the community and ran into Qian Bo who was coming back from get off work. Seeing Tan Xuan and Jiang Yingyue, Qian Bo came over to greet Tan Xuan with a smile.
"Well, let's go out and buy some things."
"What did you buy?" Qian Bo took a closer look at the things in Tan Xuan's hand and found that they were all women's things. He looked very surprised.
"You're moving in together right now? That's too fast."
"What are you talking about?" Tan Xuan had something in his hand and couldn't move, so he stretched out his leg and kicked Qian Bo. Jiang Yingyue, who was standing next to him, blushed like a monkey's butt. The last time he saw this person, he was outspoken, and he didn't expect that he would say something even more shocking today.
"Please be careful with your words. You are a leader after all. How can you speak so frivolously?" Tan Xuan glared at Qian Bo fiercely.
"We are not what you think. Jiang Yingyue is my friend. The last time you saw us go out, she was drunk and stayed at my house for a night. Don't think about dirty things all day long."
"Why do you buy so many things..." Qian Bo pointed at the large and small bags in Tan Xuan's hands and asked, obviously not believing his explanation.
Tan Xuan frowned and explained unhappily, "That's because Jiang Yingyue resigned and now has no place to live, so she rented a bedroom in my house and just came here today."
Qian Bo's eyes widened, and he still said in disbelief: "She rented a bedroom from you, not with you..."
Before Qian Bo could finish, Tan Xuan hurriedly stopped him, "Shut up."
If Qian Bo were allowed to continue talking nonsense without restraint, who knows what he would say.
"No..." Qian Bo saw that Tan Xuan was quite reacting, and turned to Jiang Yingyue, "Sister, you live with Xiao Tanzi, didn't he tell you that his place is not clean? I advise you to live closer to him."
"Shut up." Tan Xuan kicked him again.
"Not clean? Why is it not clean?" Jiang Yingyue interrupted.
"He has..."
"Tsk..." Tan Xuan glared at Qian Bo fiercely, cursing in his heart. This old guy talks too much nonsense. How can he just say anything? However, Jiang Yingyue kept looking at him and Qian Bo, so Tan Xuan shook his head and told the truth: "Someone died in the house I live in before, and these people spread rumors that the house is not clean."
"He means that someone has died in the place where you live, and it is haunted?" Jiang Yingyue's expression suddenly turned tearful, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground. My goodness, her own dormitory was haunted and she dared not live there, but now she lives in another...
The haunted house is here.
Tan Xuan glared at the talkative Qian Bo again, then explained to Jiang Yingyue: "What kind of ghost is this? They haven't even been to my house. Don't listen to their nonsense. You have stayed at my place for two nights. You know better than them whether it is clean or not. It would be a joke if the place I live in is haunted."
Qian Bo knew he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly tried to make amends with a smile, "Yes, yes, you don't know what Tan Xuan is capable of, right? No ghost would dare to cause trouble in his place. I just said that someone had died in the house where he lived before, I didn't mean anything else. If you are scared, you can live in the same room with him, it will be very safe."
"Shut up right there." Tan Xuan smiled and wished he could kick Qian Bo away. How could this guy say anything with his mouth? He was obviously a very tactful person, but now he was talking without restraint, not caring at all about making trouble. He secretly cursed himself for not checking the almanac before going out, and how come he met him.
"Okay, I'll shut up, and you guys can go back quickly. Sister, I live in Building 3, and you and Tanzi can go over there when you have time. If you need Brother Qian's help with anything, your sister can talk to Brother Qian. You may not know the relationship between Tanzi and I, but it's a life-long friendship, and it's ironclad. Okay, I'm leaving, see you later."
After saying that, Qian Bo walked away with his bag, smiling.
"Hey! Wait a moment." Tan Xuan suddenly called out to Qian Bo.
"What's wrong?" Qian Bo turned around and walked back.
"Brother Qian, I just happened to need your help. If you are not in a hurry to go home, come to my house and sit for a while. I need your help."
"Go to your house?" Qian Bo immediately shook his head. "Let's talk about it here."
Qian Bo was quite resistant to Tan Xuan's house. He didn't want to visit Tan Xuan's house no matter what. Although he believed in Tan Xuan's ability, after seeing the ghosts of Sun Shunli, he believed the rumors about Tan Xuan's house being haunted. Seeing ghosts once was enough. He didn't want to get involved in anything related to those things anymore.
Tan Xuan glanced at Qian Bo unhappily and said, "Look at your lack of ability. Let's find a place to talk. I'll put down the things in my hand first."
Tan Xuan turned around and said to Jiang Yingyue, "You go back first. I have something to talk to Brother Qian about."
"Okay then." Jiang Yingyue was tactful. Since they were talking among friends, it would be unnecessary for her to just stand aside. She could just take advantage of Tan Xuan's words to leave. Anyway, Tan Xuan had already given her the key to the room.
Seeing Tan Xuan put down the things in his hand, Qian Bo's heart trembled, "Tan Zi, you don't think I talk too much and want to punish me, right? I just said those things for your own good. She is afraid of you, so she has a chance."
Tan Xuan didn't expect Qian Bo to have such tricks. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Stop it, you are really my good brother, don't mess around with other people. Even if Jiang Yingyue and I have a relationship in the future, it can't be the result of taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
"Then why did you stop me? You were so mysterious and even chased people away." Qian Bo asked puzzled.
"I need your help. Jiang Yingyue just graduated this year and resigned from her original company today because of some problems. You have many connections, so please help her find a job."
"Haha..." Qian Bo laughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, then continued to tease: "You are concerned about other people's work, and you still say that you have nothing to do with each other."
"No, the key point is that her resignation has something to do with me..."
Since you are asking for help, you must be honest. Tan Xuan roughly told Qian Bo how Jiang Yingyue was almost harmed by a ghost and had to live in his house, and how she failed to change dormitories and ended up quitting her job.
Qian Bo suddenly realized, "So she has also seen a ghost. No wonder I didn't see any violent reaction from her when I told her that someone had died in your house. No normal person would just let it go after asking."
"Then tell me what to do. If I don't give her blind advice, she won't be able to resign. This result is caused by me, so I have to help her think of a solution. It happens that you have many connections, so see if there is any solution. By then, I will definitely understand what needs to be understood."
"What kind of job did she do before? What school did she go to? What was her major..." Qian Bo didn't just give it a quick answer, but asked a series of basic questions.
"Uh..." Tan Xuan was stunned by the question, "I only know that she works in a construction company. I don't know anything else. Why don't you wait a moment and I'll call her and ask."
As he said that, Tan Xuan took out his cell phone and was about to call Jiang Yingyue.
"Please stop it." Qian Bo reached out and held Tan Xuan's phone, not letting him dial the number. "My brother, are you sincere or not? If you ask, what will the girl think? And this doesn't show our ability at all."
"What do you mean?" Tan Xuan asked stupidly, not understanding what Qian Bo meant.
Qian Bo smiled and shook his head. "Don't ask. Since you are so concerned about this matter, how can I, as your brother, not help you? I won't say those unorthodox words. You can ask that sister later to see if she is willing to work in our company. She just graduated from college. I will find a name to get her a contract job later."
"Go to your unit? Can it be arranged at your unit?"
Tan Xuan was a little surprised, because Qian Bo's company was a very lucrative one, and it was not something that one could just enter with ease.
Qian Bo smiled, "It's hard to arrange for others, but for us, even if it's hard, we can still do it. How can I let you ask for it in vain? I must make sure you give an explanation to your girlfriend."
"She is not my girlfriend." Tan Xuan immediately denied it.
Qian Bo laughed, "It's only a matter of time. I've been through this before, so I understand everything. You don't need to explain."
Qian Bo put away his smile and said seriously, "However, contract workers are not on the payroll, so their benefits will be worse. You should explain this to her. After she is familiar with the job, I will take her to a few projects and make up for it elsewhere."
"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements." Tan Xuan said with a smile. Qian Bo explained it so thoroughly that even if he didn't know the rules, he would understand them completely.
"Then when can she start work? Should she just wait until you have made arrangements?"
Qian Bo did not answer Tan Xuan's words, but asked Tan Xuan, "Hey! Tan Zi, do you want your friend to have his job completely settled and go to work early?"
Tan Xuan agreed without thinking: "Of course, the sooner she goes to work, the less sad she will be. She just started working and then she lost her job. You can imagine how upset she is. Although I have never had a serious job, I can tell from her emotions."
Qian Bo laughed and said, "Then let me remind you again, if Director Chang personally approves your friend's job, then her job is set in stone, even if she doesn't have a staff position."
"this……"
Hearing Qian Bo bringing the topic back to Director Chang, Tan Xuan felt a headache. He really didn't want to get involved anymore, but Qian Bo kept bringing it up whenever he got the chance.
Seeing Tan Xuan's face full of resistance, Qian Bo said earnestly: "Tan Zi, I know you don't want to get involved in Director Chang's family affairs. After all, it involves the privacy that the old man has always been reluctant to mention, and it is not glorious. You don't want me to wade into that muddy water, but Director Chang has already found someone else to solve the matter, so you can rest assured."
"Then why do you insist on having me go see your director?" Tan Xuan asked in confusion, "Why? I helped him last time without asking for money, and he still feels guilty?"
Qian Bo nodded and said, "It's really interesting. Director Chang and his wife are very grateful to you. They have mentioned to me several times that they want to treat you to a meal. This is perfect. You don't need any reward, but you can still talk about your girlfriend's job. If the director nods, she will have a stable job. And the old man also wants to thank you in person. If the old man helps to say a word, it will be more effective than Director Chang's words."
"Think about it, just go and go through the motions. It won't do any harm. Why would you be reluctant?"
"This..." Tan Xuan bit his lip and said nothing.
"Tanzi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, there's nothing to hesitate about."
Tan Xuan weighed it over and over again in his mind and nodded, "Okay, then you decide which day is convenient for you and I'll go there with you."
Qian Bo smiled happily, and patted Tan Xuan's hand. "Isn't that enough? I'll ask Director Chang later. If everything is ok, we can go to his house tomorrow. Bring your friend with you. Even if you don't have any relationship now, you can tell Director Chang that she is your girlfriend."
"why?"
"Stupid!" Qian Bo glared at Tan Xuan. "You're usually pretty smart, aren't you? Say she's your girlfriend so Director Chang can arrange her work for your sake. And doesn't this also help solidify your relationship?"
